Intel provides an open source driver which is installed by default on Ubuntu. Run dpkg -s xserver-xorg-video-intel to check the status of the driver package: it should be installed.

Ubuntu 11.10 should run just fine on your hardware. Having two computers with Intel's HD3000 and HD2000 GPUs i can confirm it. Since the Ubuntu 11.04 → 11.10 update, I no more need to use the xorg-edgers ppa and it's way more stable.

You could also try to upgrade to the Linux 3.1 kernel.

If you still want to download the driver, you can look for the xf86-video-intel source or the default package.
